The subcommittee of the Jasper Festlv al
will get TO work this week in earnest. The
| Finance Committee will begin canvass OF
the city this morning. A large sum Of
money will be needed and tho management
of the Festival asks that the citizens
contribute literally. The minimum sum
which the committee asks for is $40, 900, but
it desires to raise 900 and as much more
as it can. This amount is needed to make
the Festival what the management
is anxious to make il, the biggest celebration
that Savannah has ever had. Its success
depends upon the manner in which the citi-

The Executive Committee has issued the
following address to the public:
| To the Citizens Of Sdrdnndh:
The Finance Committee appointed by the
chairman of the General Committee of citizens
| having charge of the arrangements for the pro-
| posed Jasper Festival, has been divided into
| number Of subcommittee to solicit subscrip-
| tions to defray the necessary expenses of the
undertaking. 1t is estimated that $40, 900 in the
way of voluntary contributions will be required
to carry out the plans proposed for the festl-
val and as the aim and object of the enterprise
is to cause a large NUMBER OF people TO visit
our city thereby benefit its trade, etc, each
citizen should contribute his proper share to-
ward making the fest wal a success
The gentlemen serving on these sub-comnnit-
| tees to solicit subscriptions have no greater
interest in the enterprise than their other fellow
citizens should have, and it is therefore earn
| estly request ed that each citizen. upon whom
| they call, will meet them in a generous way
with liberal and prompt contribution and not
| to tax their time and practice by asking them
| to call again. "
| The festival having been decided on by
| large and representative body of citizens, it
becomes the duty of each one to do his part to
aid the enterprise and not to shirk his responsible
! ity to the community Of which he is a member
| by forcing other citizens to do more than their
| share in order to make good his delinquency,
which, if not done, might result in failure to the
! undertaking.
| The success or failure of the festival rests
| with the business men of Savannah. The former
is certain if those who are likely to be most BEN
Gifted do anything near their duty, as it is reas-
| onably certain that there are other citizens who
cannot look for any direct benefit from the fes-
| tival, but who have enough public spirit to do
| the balance.
The citizens in the named districts. etc, will
be waited on by the gentlemen named for that
duty on aud after Dec. p, 1887

mittee: VIM Garrard Chairman; +. NJ. Green,
